Sandy, With a heavy heart, I want to inform you and all of his WAGS friends that my brother Sam Roberts passed away Friday, March 20, 2015, after a long illness. He kept his loving, caring nature and his love for cast iron until illness took away his keen mind. He will greatly be missed by all who had the privilege to cross his path. He was truly a person that I was blessed to call my brother and my friend. Thank you. Sam's sister Irene

Yes I remember Sam well. I talked to him on the phone a few times in fact. He was a nice man and loved to talk iron. We still have the work that he done restoring a Griswold stove, you know, one of the counter top ones. He stripped one down and gave a step by step on how to do it. He will be missed. May you rest in peace Sam.

Like everyone else, I will miss Sam! Really appreciated his conscientiousness, & having stopped seeing him at some of our get-togethers a while back, kept hoping that he would always be 'at the next one' Sorry to hear it! & Best to your sister & the rest of your family… [& Thank you for notifying us, Sandy]

Sam was a good one, every time I would post a scalloped Lodge or hammered Lodge I found he would always let me know if I didn't want it he did. He loved his cast iron and he will always be in my heart as a good man.
